Bossert, Rizzoli, '90, reprint, 104 pages, cloth, dust jacket, over 1000 color illustrations, this classic volume catalogues and illustrates decorative objects from literally hundreds of cultures. Variety of visual design revealed in this book is due to the vastly different materials and coloring agents available to the artisans and in part from the methods that determine a culture's folk art. The range of art includes clothing, utensils, weapons, masks, textiles, tools, and building materials.
